61 year old man prepares for cross country ride

to ride from KY to CA.
http://www.kentucky.com/mld/kentucky...e/11007946.htm
Prepares to retrace route he took in 1967 from CA to KY. Plans to carry
laptop and teach an online course to KY students.

Sounds like a pretty good trip for an older guy.

Who said 61 is old? I've revised my opinion on that point.

61 is not an "older guy". When I was 30 it was an older guy, but now I
would like to think it is still young. Get that "OLDER" out of there
unless you are talking about someone who is 85 or 90. Cher is 60. I
hear she going to pose nude to celebrate. I am hoping 60 becomes the
new 40. Anyway, if he did it in 1967, he can do it again now. Good
Luck to him.

"older" is a relative statement, I am 32 so 61 is "older", I am not saying
the he is old, just that he is older than me! Didn't mean to offend anyone.
Old would be in the late 70's or beyond!

I am 65, and definitely NOT "older."

And, I bet when I am 85, I will not be "older" either!

Words like "older," "elderly," "younger," etc., are not very accurate
or descriptive words. I much prefer simply making a statement such as

"A 23 year old man"

or

a "75 year old woman"

or simply leave "age" out of the entire equation.

I'm now 43 and when I was 38 I had my butt trounced by the Senior
Masters female champ (she reminded me a lot of Jackeline Kennedy in
build, hair style and she even wore pearls). I later found out she was
72. I wasn't as fast as I am now but she kicked my ass in style! I
now have a lot of respect for older (in years) riders. They may look
'older' but they can hold their own. It may not be at the speed of le
Tour but it's still very respectable. Also what they losing in speed
over the years they can make up in distance.

BTW, I also know several people who are in there 70's and they look
better than folks in their 50's. At some point how well we maintain
ourselves comes into play. Some people are worn out early, some later
and others you need to Raid to kill off. :-)

Sounds like a pretty good trip for someone of ANY age.

I signed up a few years back for the on-line journal of a guy who rode solo
from Seattle to Miami, and celebrated his 70th birthday along the way. I was
disappointed when he finally got there, I enjoyed his stories and pictures
so much over the weeks it took him to do the trip.

Since then, I also subscribed to the journals of his tour of New Zealand,
and most recently, his bicycle tour of the Andes. I never knew how beautiful
the mountains Chile and Argentina are.
